Today's Good News

05/15          2 Cor. 4:16

“Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day.”

  1. Spiritual renewal is ongoing, even when the body weakens.
  2. God’s healing includes inner restoration.
  3. The Holy Spirit continually renews our strength.
  4. God’s healing is not always immediate but progressive.
  5. Hope in Christ sustains us through physical challenges.

TRIALS TEST US

 
Do not lose heart, O weary soul,
Though your body may fade with time,
For within, there is renewal,
A strength that does not wither,
A fire that does not dim.

 
The outward shell may grow weak,
But the Spirit within stands firm,
For each day brings new mercy,
Each trial refines and shapes,
Each moment draws us closer.

 
This world cannot steal our hope,
For we are held by hands eternal,
What fades is but temporary,
But the life within us is forever,
Rooted in the promise of Christ.

 
So press on and do not fear,
Though trials may test your frame,
For what is unseen is greater,
And His renewal will not cease,
Until we stand complete in Him.
